Super Bowl Ads 2010, Betty White Rocks
Well its over now. We didn't get the highest scoring Super Bowl in history as predicted, but we did see some pretty good commercials this year. My personal favorite was the Mars' Snickers: You're not You When You're Hungry. How can you not like seeing Betty White and Abe Vigoda getting tackled? Unfortunately enjoyment of that [...]
Kim Kardashian Wants to Go Fast, NASCAR Fast
Well America, NASCAR just got a touch of class. OK, I can't write that with a straight face. I'll just cut to chase, Kim Kardashian has just unveiled her new car... her NASCAR car. I guess that was on the list of how to be a celebrity: (1) Have a somewhat famous last name- her late father was a lawyer on the O.J. Simpson defense team (2) [...]
Sports – A Defintion for Simpletons

Nobody is putting on pads or playing, its two days of commentators and fans obsessing over projected talent levels. This year's [...]
You Might Be a Supermodel If… You’re Not Janice Dickinson
When did it become a crime in America to be average or just "good" at what you do? Now everyone wants to be exceptional or considered a superstar. I don't remember it being this way, as a child there were people that were acknowledged as "good", but then there were those who we all agreed were "better" or even the “best" at what they did. [...]
Chicago – Don’t You Wanna Go
I took my act on the road last week to the Windy City... Chicago. The trip was part business, part pleasure. Flew into O'Hare, which is a bit of pain because I couldn't get a nonstop flight from LA to Chicago Midway for the dates I needed. On the plus side, I did get to fly Jet Blue, which was extremely comfortable. I got the cheapest [...]
